A crucial introduction to the origins of the German Expressionist movement and the influential Blue Rider group, focusing on their relationships and transcultural interests.
 
Founded in Munich in the 1910s, the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) was a revolutionary group of artists that included Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, and Marianne von Werefkin, among many others. Their experiments with abstraction were key to the development of German Expressionism, and their practice was stunningly varied. The group’s works encompassed painting, sculpture, design, curation, publishing, printmaking, textiles, performative arts, and even branched into theology and spirituality. Hardcover, 240 pagees.
